Function/arbitrary waveform generator AGENT B-230

PCI Bus function/arbitrary waveform generator AGENT B-230 is intended for generation of sine, rectangular, triangular and arbitrary form signals in wide amplitude and frequency bands, by their creation in digital form by program-mathematical resources of the generator and conversion to analog form. Addition AGENT B-230 can operate in as 14-bit analog-digital converter (voltage meter) and has possibility of logic analyzer/pattern generator connection. Basic technical characteristic B-230

Basic program-functional caracteristics of B-230
  • Software fo Microsoft Windows 98/NT/2k/XP
  • Self-calibration and setup of generated a signal amplitude depending on load
  • The standard waveforms are:
    DC
    Sine
    Triangle (including Ramp)
    Square
    Exponent
    Noise
  • Generator software provides signal creation in the following ways:
    by choosing from the set of standard signals (see below) and specifying its basic parameters
    by entering analytic expression with using functions library
    by graphic input, for example, mouse drawing
    by import from text (ASCII) files, which have information about stored signals, including those that were measured with digital oscilloscope or were described in the other software
    by any combination of ways described above
  • Possibility for output signals to change its basic parameters “on the fly” (amplitude, offset, frequency, etc).
